Tower House in Copenhagen

A beautiful, sunny morning here in Peru. And it's tour time!<br /><br />At the entrance of Gentoftegade just north of Copenhagen is this house from the early 19th century. It stands out from the other houses on the road because of its tower. From the little balcony on the roof there is a fine view of lake Gentofte.<br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55660.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55647.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 488px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55661.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55651.jpg" /><br />Loke and Gitte Havn with daughters and family dog.<br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55654.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55652.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55648.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55659.jpg" style="width: 651px; height: 487px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55656.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 501px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55658.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 488px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55657.jpg" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55655.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 486px;" /><br /><br /><img alt="" id="__image" src="http://www.fri.dk/sites/default/files/specials/img_800x600/55650.jpg" /><br /><br />Photography by Stuart McIntyre<br />All images from <a href="http://www.fri.dk/bolig/">here</a>.
